What is IRP?IRP stands for the International Registration Plan. The Plan is
a method of registering fleets of vehicles that travel in two or
more member jurisdictions. Fees are calculated according to the
miles that you travel in each jurisdiction and other variables.
All fees are paid to your base jurisdiction, which then distributes
them to the other appropriate jurisdictions.

Can you tell me what my license
fee will be?
Generally we cannot tell you what your IRP license fees will be
until we process your application and generate an invoice. The fee
calculation for each jurisdiction varies based on the laws of that
jurisdiction. The fee calculation for your vehicle may be based
on gross weight, mileage, vehicle year model, vehicle make, purchase
price, your type of operation or other factors, depending on which
jurisdictions you request registration for. Our system will calculate
the full vehicle registration fee for each jurisdiction and will
then determine the appropriate percentage of that fee to charge
based on the percentage of miles you travel in that jurisdiction.
For example, if 25 percent of your miles are traveled in Nebraska you will
be charged 25 percent of the Nebraska registration fee that would be paid
for a non-IRP Nebraska registration. Because the fee calculations
are so complex we cannot manually calculate them. We can provide
you with an estimate based on the full Kansas fee.

My vehicle weight is less than
26,001 pounds and I deliver to several locations within another
jurisdiction. Do I need IRP
plates?
You will be required to get IRP plates or a temporary trip permit
for the other jurisdictions if you are doing intrastate movement
within another jurisdiction regardless of the weight of your vehicle.
Intrastate movement means operation point to point within a jurisdiction.

Do I need a Kansas address to get
IRP
plates?
Yes, you must have an established place of business in Kansas to
qualify for IRP
registration in Kansas. A physical street address is required rather
than a post office box.

Do I need a Kansas title for my
vehicle to get IRP
plates?
No. We do accept out of state titles in your name and not assigned
over on the back if you have a current lease agreement and will
be leasing to a Kansas carrier. If you purchase a vehicle and want
to register it in Kansas, a Kansas title will be required.

What is a base jurisdiction?
A base jurisdiction is where the registrant has an established place
of business, where mileage is accrued by the fleet and where operational
records of that fleet are maintained or can be made available. The
established place of business should be a physical structure owned,
leased or rented by the fleet registrant and should be designated
by a street number or road.

Can I make quarterly payments for
my IRP
license plates?
A Kansas based registrant has the option to pay the annual Kansas
fleet apportioned registration fee on a quarterly basis. Registrants
who elect to pay registration fees on the quarterly payment basis
are issued new cab cards after payment of each quarter.

The payment of the Kansas annual apportioned registration fee
on a quarterly basis applies only to the fee applicable to Kansas
and only on a new account, renewal application, or supplemental
application adding vehicles before March 1 if payment is received.

The amount of the Kansas annual fee shall exceed $300.

The quarterly payment basis relates only to an alternate method
of payment of the Kansas annual fleet apportioned registration
fee.

The first quarterly payment of the Kansas annual apportioned registration
fee, including Kansas issuance fees, title fees and any supporting
documents for registration plus all apportioned registration fees
due other IRP jurisdictions, shall be received on or before March
1 of a registration year.

Failure to provide the foregoing requirements on or before March
1 of a registration year shall result in the applicant being required
to pay the Kansas annual fleet apportioned registration fee in
full, including any registration penalties.

The remaining Kansas annual fleet apportioned registration
quarterly payments are due and payable on or before: Second quarter
due - April 1 Third quarter due - July 1 Fourth quarter due - Oct.
1

It shall be unlawful to operate the fleet vehicles
when payment is delinquent. If a fleet is detained because of a
delinquent quarterly installment, authorization for operation cannot
be allowed until proper payment has been made and clearance provided.

No temporary wires are issued for a registrant who
has expired registration. A billing notice is provided 20 to 30
days prior to due date. Failure of a fleet owner to receive a billing
notice shall not waive or excuse the fleet owner from the payment.

Nonpayment of Quarterly fees
When a fleet owner is delinquent past the due date, a Notice of
Lien shall be filed with the Register of Deeds of the county in
which the fleet is based. A copy of the Notice of Lien shall be
provided the fleet owner showing the amount due. The amount due
covers the delinquent quarterly payment, any remaining quarterly
payments, and a penalty in the sum of ten percent of the original
Kansas total fleet annual apportioned registration fees. A stop
title is filed with the Titles and Registrations Bureau and the
title cannot be issued to a new owner until the lien has been satisfied.

After a Notice of Lien has been recorded by a Register
of Deeds, a Tax Warrant shall be issued to the Sheriff of that county.
The Sheriff shall seize and hold all property subject to the lien
and advertise and sell the property or an amount of the property
to satisfy the state's lien.

When a registrant is delinquent more than ten days
beyond the due date of any quarterly payment, such registrant is
denied the option to pay the annual Kansas apportioned registration
fee in quarterly payments for the next two registration years.

Can I get temporary IRP
registration?
Yes. Once we receive all required paperwork we will issue a 45 day
temporary to allow you time to pay the supplement and get the credentials
on the vehicle.

My vehicle was leased to a Kansas
based carrier. I broke lease. How can I move my truck without a
license plate?
You may apply for a Hunter's Permit with form MCS-14.

If I have IRP
license plates do I also need to apply for IFTA?
You must also register for IFTA and file motor fuel road tax reports
on a quarterly basis if the vehicles within your fleet:

have two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross
vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds; or

have three or more axles regardless of weight; or

are used in combination, when the combined weight is more than
26,000 pounds gross or registered gross vehicle weight at any
time.
